Collapse Simulator: Raging at the Imaginary Tree

Chapter 71: Sword Name...

At night, the Xuanyuan Sword on the bedside emitted a bright glow, and with Yun Ling's every breath, it flashed with golden light.

Yun Ling had a very strange dream. He dreamed that he was sinking to the bottom of the water, falling down and down into the endless darkness.

"Call me, call me, call me..."

A pleasant female voice whispered in his ear.

"Who are you?" Yun Ling wanted to ask, but found that he couldn't make any sound.

"Sword name..."

The dream came to an abrupt end.

The next day, just after daybreak, Yun Ling began to meditate and silently recite the "Sword Heart Art" to temper his sword heart, and he also forgot about the strange dream.

Although Kenshin's realm cannot be improved, he can gain some insights every time he recites. It is always right to listen to the master.

"Master, morning!"

After Chi Yuan finished practicing boxing, Yun Ling waved to her and greeted her.

"Good morning." Chi Yuan replied lightly.

"Master, what sword form should we practice today?" Yun Ling did not forget what Chi Yuan said yesterday.

"Sword Form. There are six sword forms: Flying Falcon, Black Falcon, Swift, Vine Sparrow, Cloud Eagle, and Moon Heron."

This time Chi Yuan only demonstrated it once, and then stood aside and watched Yun Ling practice.

There are more sword-transforming forms than sword-activating forms, and they are more difficult.

Not only do you need to learn sword moves, but you also need to imitate the grace of flying birds.

If the difficulty of the sword-starting form is 1, then the sword-transforming form should be 3 or 4.

However, Chi Yuan, who was watching from the side, became more and more frightened.

First time, slightly flawed.

The second time he was able to perform the Six Sword Formations perfectly, and even she could not find any fault with the way he executed the sword moves.

By the third time, it already had some charm in it, like a real bird soaring in the sky.

By the fourth time, Chi Yuan's sword transformation skills, which he had practiced for thousands of years, were fully demonstrated in his hands.

"Master, is this okay?" Yun Ling asked.

"...Why did you stop?" Chi Yuan simply asked, but Yun Ling's heart tightened, thinking she was angry.

So I started practicing transformation again.

But the next few times were no different from the fourth time. I reached the level of Chiyuan and it was difficult to make further progress.

"Okay, stop." Chi Yuan stopped him.

"Yes, Master... ahem."

Chi Yuan continued to strike while the iron was hot and taught him all six sword guarding forms and six sword opening forms.

Yun Ling not only learns quickly, but also learns faster and faster!

The difficulty of the sword form increases, but the time Yunling spends is getting shorter and shorter.

Chi Yuan had the illusion that all the thousands of years of training had been in vain.

However, she also discovered a problem, which was that he could only reach her level each time and did not raise the upper limit again.

But in Chi Yuan's opinion, there is still room for improvement in Taixu Sword Qi, but her talent is limited and can only be filled with time.

Yun Ling is different. In Fu Hua's opinion, with Yun Ling's talent, the "Taixu Sword Qi" that is regarded as a treasure by the world may even be just a starting point for him.

But she was not in a hurry and prepared to give him the remaining soul and divine essence first.

"Put down the sword." Chi Yuan said to Yun Ling.

"Yes." Yun Ling carefully put the Xuanyuan Sword aside.

"Re-demonstrate all the sword forms."

"Ah?" Chi Yuan's words made Yun Ling a little confused.

But he didn't have any doubts and began to demonstrate his sword moves.

Without the Xuanyuan Sword in hand, Yun Ling felt that these sword forms were a bit awkward to perform, and he even almost stepped on his right foot with his left foot and fell...

But Chi Yuan did not punish him, and continued to watch quietly.

While continuing to practice, Yun Ling suddenly recalled the scene of Chi Yuan practicing boxing in the morning, and his mind suddenly became clear.

Wasn’t the boxing technique that the master demonstrated this morning mixed with sword techniques?

However, when she performed the technique, she did not follow the sword shape completely. Instead, she had a natural feeling of returning to nature.

Yun Ling silently recited the "Sword Heart Art" in his heart, allowing his mind to enter a state of clarity and stillness.

"call..."

Yun Ling let out a long breath, and the awkwardness he had just felt instantly disappeared!

He didn't care about the shape of the sword, he just did what he wanted, completely according to his own ideas, integrating all the sword moves he could think of into his body.

With a casual wave of his hand, a terrifying sword energy shot straight into the sky.

He took a step forward with one foot, and an invisible force sank into the ground, causing the area around him to collapse a little.

The sword is not restricted to a certain shape and can be varied. A sword is not a sword, and a person can also be a sword.

Yun Ling sat on the ground with weak legs until he was exhausted.

"master..."

"You have just mastered the Soul Essence among the Five Elements of the Great Void. Let's stop here for today."

Chi Yuan tried his best to hide his inner shock. A breeze blew and brought Yun Ling to a stone nearby, allowing him to lean against the stone to rest.

"Eh? Have you mastered it?" Yun Ling still hasn't reacted.

"The so-called soul essence is the essence of swordsmanship. The way of sword is ever-changing, and the sword itself is just a support. After comprehending the soul essence, all weapons in the world can be used like swords, and there is no need to stick to the shape of the sword when making a move. Only when you reach such a realm can you be said to have achieved the perfection of swordsmanship... You have already done it." Chi Yuan explained.

"Thank you, Master!" Yun Ling wanted to stand up and salute, but his body did not allow it.

"Don't worry about the details. Just take a good rest here."

After saying that, Chi Yuan left quietly.

He spent half a day shaping his sword heart and entering the "Dustless". In less than a day, he learned the form essence and even comprehended the soul essence without any prompts.

So how long will it take to acquire the most difficult divine essence?

She was a little afraid to guess. This child's terrifying talent was destined to surpass her in the martial arts world and become the undisputed number one in the martial arts world...

Even surpassing Kevin is not impossible.

All he lacks is time and experience.

But for him who is still a child, time and experience should be the easiest things to accumulate.

Another day passed, and with Chi Yuan's expression numb, Yun Ling handed the Xuanyuan Sword, which had changed its shape, to Chi Yuan.

"Could it be her..."

This is a sword that is completely blue in color, with a Tai Chi symbol on the hilt.

Thousands of years ago, this sword appeared in the hands of a person named Xiao Yun. She traveled around the world with this sword, slaying monsters and punishing evildoers, and teaching the world swordsmanship and Taoism.

The name of the sword is "Ruoshui"!

Now this sword will appear again in his hands...

Chi Yuan subconsciously looked towards the pine tree in the distance. Under it, Xiao Yun was buried.

"Use her well." Chi Yuan exchanged the Ruoshui Sword with Yun Ling.

Yun Ling was a little dazed, because at this moment Chi Yuan's eyes were actually a little gentle, completely different from the usual feeling of keeping people at a distance.

"Okay, Master." Yun Ling took Ruoshui, as if an invisible heavy responsibility had come upon him.

"Come down the mountain with me tomorrow to test my sword!"

……

Chapter 72: Sword Test

When Kenshin reached the realm of "Shisui", he was actually already able to fly with a sword.

It’s just that Yun Ling learned too fast and Chi Yuan didn’t have time to teach him.

But it doesn’t matter. After trying it twice, Yun Ling’s sword-controlling skills have reached perfection.

The feeling of overlooking the vast mountains and rivers is a bit intoxicating, but Chi Yuan does not allow him to show it in front of everyone.

An overly prominent identity is sometimes not conducive to their actions.

The two came to an inn, drank tea and listened to ordinary people talking about some stories in the martial arts world.

According to Chi Yuan, this method is the fastest way to get information.

"Hey, have you heard? In the past few nights, someone passing by the back mountain heard a woman crying. Do you think... could it be haunted?"

"Haunted? Don't be ridiculous. Where do ghosts come from in this world? I think you've done too many bad things, and you're afraid of being haunted."

"Go away, I'm talking to you seriously."

"I'm not sure if there are ghosts, but there might be demons. The city has been a bit volatile lately, with several disappearances happening in quick succession. The police have been investigating for days but haven't found any leads."

After practicing "Taixu Sword Qi", Yun Ling felt that his hearing ability had improved a lot.

If you look carefully, you can even hear the sound of horse hooves from more than ten miles away...

(The Broken Sword Record records that Li Sushang's master could hear the sound of horse hooves forty miles away.)

Naturally, one could also hear clearly the gossip going on in the inn.

"This is the goal of your sword test this time, to find out the truth of the matter." Chi Yuan said to Yun Ling.

"Yes, Master." Yun Ling nodded and gently stroked Ruoshui's waist.

Ruoshui also responded to her with a soft moan.

"Just remember the rules of Taixu Mountain: 'Anyone who becomes a demon must be killed.'" Chi Yuan warned seriously.

"What is demon possession?" Yun Ling was a little confused.

"Aside from Taixu Sword Qi, cultivating Qi with other techniques carries a certain risk of being eroded by the Qi. A possessed person will become unconscious, their strength will increase dramatically, their body will turn gray, and they will become a being capable of only killing."

"There are also those who are still slightly possessed by demons and still have consciousness. These people must also be killed. As of now, there is no medicine or cure for those who are possessed by demons."

"We must nip all those possessed by demons in the bud. This is the only way to protect the peace of China to the greatest extent possible."

Chi Yuan's tone was very cold, and there was a cold light flashing in his eyes.

It was the first time that Yun Ling saw Chi Yuan like this.

"Yes, ahem, I understand, Master." Yun Ling nodded.

"Go ahead." Chi Yuan closed his eyes and sipped the tea carefully, looking as if he didn't intend to interfere.

Yun Ling began to search for clues about the missing case.

The Ruoshui sword on Yun Ling's waist was two feet and a half long, half his height, so it was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

However, with his young face, he was able to get a lot of clues from passers-by.

The disappearances usually only occur at night, and the target seems to be people in this town.

However, the police did not find the body in the city, so it is possible that it was transferred out of the city through some channels.

At night, Yun Ling came to the highest point in the city center.

Listen carefully to the movements around you.

Suddenly, some very light footsteps came into my ears, with a hint of urgency.

At this time, two people were carrying a person on each of their shoulders and quickly dodged in the alley. Even though they were carrying people, their speed was not slow at all, and they easily avoided the people patrolling on the road.
